    The external hard drive that I just bought got smashed by someone being careless. The hard drive is beeping, anyway i can back up the external before i send it in.

    Is the case damaged or the Hard disk itself?

    I imagine the Hard Drive, because of the beeping noise. The case is also dented.

    Let's have a look at it. Post a photo, describe how it happened, and also whether it was on when whatever happened, happened.
